Reese Camryn Atkinson August 3, 1999 – December 2, 2024 With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Reese Camryn Atkinson on December 2, 2024. Born on August 3, 1999, in Bradenton, Florida, Reese was a bright light whose creativity and passion left an indelible mark on all who knew her. Reese was known for her remarkable artistry, which beautifully expressed her vibrant imagination and unique perspective. She had a deep love for animals, especially her cherished cats, Jack and Thomas, who brought her endless joy and companionship. Reese's fiery personality was present from the start, as soon as she walked and talked, she was the boss. She was a girl who never gave less than 110% when doing anything, always passionate and self-assured. Her intelligence allowed her to excel professionally in every role she held; she was dedicated and responsible. She was steadfast in her beliefs and would never turn down an opportunity to share them with others. Reese never left you guessing where you stood with her. She was our little firecracker who kept our lives bright and exciting.

She is lovingly survived by her parents, Kirt Atkinson and Heather Becker; her stepmother, Karess Atkinson; and her stepfather, Bruce Becker. Reese also leaves behind her beloved sister, Alyssa and stepbrother Jake, as well as her grandparents, Tami Best, Mark Atkinson, and Carl and Barbara Davenport. She now joins her sister, Carlie, who preceded her in passing on May 11, 2024.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, December 13, at 1:00 PM at Groover Funeral Home, 1300 36th Ave E, Ellenton, FL 34222. In honor of Reese’s love for animals, donations may be made to the Humane Society of Manatee County in Bradenton, Florida, in her memory. Reese’s vibrant spirit, boundless creativity, and compassionate heart will forever be remembered. She will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched.
